Crisis Prevention Intervention

Crisis Prevention Intervention

Nonviolent Crisis Intervention was developed by the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) and has been used in a variety of human service settings for over 25 years. Upon satisfactory completion of training, each participant will receive a certificate from the Crisis Prevention Institute.

What you will learn:

1. Verbal and non-verbal prevention techniques.

2. Effective verbal de-escalation techniques.

3. Team intervention strategies and techniques.

4. Post-crisis techniques to help re-establish a positive teaching relationship with the acting-out person.

Important Training Standards

1. Staff who have never been certified in crisis or physical intervention, or were trained more than one year ago, or received training in a technique other than CPI must be trained in “Nonviolent Crisis Intervention”.

2. Staff may be re-certified in CPI by attending a one-day recertification training, providing they attend training within one year of their last training. Each site is recommended to have 4-6 team members.

3. As Crisis Prevention Intervention are based on team intervention (for safety and professional standards) it is recommended that schools send no fewer than 2 people from the same site.
